Elements of Organisational Learning
Information acquisition - the process by which knowledge is obtained
Information distribution - the process by which information from different sources is shared and thereby leads to new information and understanding
Information interpretation - the process by which distributed information is given one or more commonly understood meanings
Organisational memory - the means by which knowledge is stored for future use
